Channel Account Manager

About Harmonic Security

Harmonic Security lets teams adopt AI tools safely by protecting sensitive data in real time with minimal effort. It gives enterprises full control and stops leaks so that their teams can innovate confidently.

We are led by cybersecurity experts and backed by top investors including N47, Ten Eleven Ventures, and In-Q-Tel.

As we expand our go‑to‑market motion, channel partnerships are becoming a critical accelerant for Harmonic's growth. This role will shape how we engage, enable, and scale a high‑impact partner ecosystem on the West Coast—helping define a foundational revenue engine for a company building an entirely new category in AI security.

Harmonic's Channel & Alliances function is in its earliest phase of development. We're building a partner‑centric motion that strengthens our reach, amplifies our brand, and accelerates enterprise adoption of Harmonic across key markets. The team works directly with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Exec leadership to cultivate partnerships that generate new pipeline, expand our presence with targeted resellers, and reinforce Harmonic's position as the leader in AI Governance and Control (AIGC).

We are hands‑on operators with a bias toward action, focused on building a scalable, repeatable partner ecosystem from the ground up.

We're hiring our first West Coast Channel Account Manager to deepen Harmonic's commitment to the channel and expand within a high‑potential region. This role exists now because our partner community is rapidly growing, and we need a dedicated leader who can drive recruitment, onboarding, pipeline development, and enablement with precision and pace.

You will own relationships with key partners, articulate the immediate value of Harmonic Security, lead partner events, and ensure partners are equipped to generate meaningful revenue impact. This is a chance to join early, influence the strategy, and build a channel program that becomes a force multiplier for Harmonic's GTM engine.
